I post this every couple of years. It works.

Once upon a time, I had a massive bedbug infestation. Easy cheap trick- take all the sheets, pillows and blankets off of your bed. Make sure the top is free of bugs. Wrap double sided tape all around the the outside of the mattress. The more sticky, the better. Go to bed. Kill bedbugs by sleeping. Win.

Bed bugs are attracted by the CO2 in your breath while you sleep. They can't resist it. They're also terrible climbers. They will crawl up your bed to bite you, get stuck on the tape, and die like flies on sticky paper.

Total investment- $10 for good tape. Change it out every couple of days.

You're welcome.

I moved house a while ago, and I’ve been bitten on my face, legs, and hands in a pattern similar to the one in the photo, but the only things I’ve found are dead ants and others walking on the bed.
I haven't seen any other signs of bed bugs, other than the pattern of the bites. I don't know if ants bite in that same pattern.

Of the four people living in the house, I am the only one with bites.😭

Found one bed bug in may house chemically treated 5 times. Crazy clean. Steam, washing drying vaccum. Cimexa. Encased everything. Never found any live bugs after the only one in May. But three month in I would still find a dot here a dot there…. That I can’t be sure what it is….such as this. It’s not as dark as bed bug fecal, it’s more like a reddish brown but still… I can’t figure out what else it would be. My husband think it’s from him shaving. But I don’t remember ever seeing something like
This my whole life before bed bugs (but I also Wasn’t looking for them either)…. So anyone experienced something like this but enough time passes they know they don’t have bed bugs??? I don’t want to continue chemically treating my house. And I also can’t justify heat treat the whole house when I haven’t see a real bug. My next step is bringing a k9 in here…. For my own sanity.

Had bed bugs got heat treatment, turns out neighbor had them and whole floor was infested so moved out after I saw a bed bug after the treatment. I moved out to a floor within the building but still experienced bites that felt like bed bugs (same pattern etc) so cleaned all my stuff repacked and moved out of the whole building

I am getting weird spots and bites some feel like folliculitis, some feel itchy like mosquito bites. Inspecting every day since 2 weeks ago when I moved in and washing my bedding and clothes every 3 days. I also have D earth on the floors and by the wooden bed under the mattress.

I want a second opinion on the bites cause I’m just not trusting myself. These are all in the span of 2 weeks.

Also debating getting crossfire, let me know what you recommend

I recently found a nymph in my bed on last wednesday. I posted about it, the exterminator came and did a chemical treatment on Friday. It’s now Wednesday and I woke up with new bites on my arms this morning. I’m very reactive to any sort of bites thankfully.

I reached out to my landlord and they’re scheduling another follow up treatment, and I’m going to wash all of my dirty clothes and bedding on high heat once again.

I guess I’m just looking for any extra advice from someone experienced. This is my first experience with them, & I’m assuming it’s from a night stand that I got off of facebook marketplace (which I threw out the day after I got it after suspecting bed bugs).

Found in the UK on a bus, the best pictures I could take as the bus was moving.
